Twisted: The Psyche of the CartoonistsThe cartoonist’s mind works differently. As detached observers, they must recognize and distill complex situations into a single image. Their inspiration can come from a turn of phrase, a moment on the street, or a doodle coaxed into a drawing.

By Raymond LesserI’m retired, which is a good thing because I don’t think I’d have time for a regular job anymore, I have way too much unpaid work that I need to do every day just to get by. For instance, this morning I drove over to the gas station to pump my own gas, check my oil and clean my windshield. I’m very good at these tasks because one of my first jobs as a teenager was working at a service station where these were things that we routinely did for all our customers.
